International audience ; French governments have an interventionist philosophy for arms industry. They prefer domestic production versus imports, they organize a military planning for 5 years and they define some institutional steps in the procedure for contracts and cooperation (with a parliamentary control). The determination of prices includes a process of « cost plus and fixes price contracting, with a calculation of profit margin and a real will to support national military R&D. The links between Government, industry, unions and the military staff are oriented for national defence, but the relations between them are sometimes conflicting. ; Les gouvernements français ont une philosophie interventionniste pour l'industrie de l'armement.

This study aims to determine the procurement process challenges for improving the Department of Correctional Services (DCS). All the participants recruited by the researcher were not forced to participate or sign the consent form. The researcher considered only voluntary participation and the participants were requested to sign the POPI Act consent forms before conducting the face-to-face interview. The study adopted a qualitative research methodology to get a comprehensive and deeper understanding of the challenges and effects of the procurement process. Information was collected from the key informants using Face-to-face interviews; the key informants were possible suppliers, chief executors, executors, and directors. Managers specializing in the procurement field and potential suppliers were chosen as respondents to obtain sentiments toward the procurement process. The study established that (DCS) is one of the national departments faced with the challenges of improving the procurement process. Hence the case study focuses on procurement process challenges for the improvement of the DCS. The study concluded that most of the fruitless, wasteful and irregular, and unauthorized expenditures incurred in DCS are caused by a lack of availability of resources such as employment finances and a lack of technology due to resistance to change from the top management to the lower level.

Corruption is an extraordinary crime that occurred in every country. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reported in 2013 that about 10-25 percent of the value of public procurement in the whole world, including Indonesia, was corrupted. Based on the data of Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), corruption cases in public procurement is in the highest rank compared to the others. Using a game theoretical approach, this study aims to analyze the procurement process of public goods and services of the Indonesian Government, which has adopted the electronic system, called e-procurement. The game is played sequentially by two representative agents, namely the organizer (government) and the provider. It is assumed that the organizer has a non-corrupt nature. This study results that e-procurement is not significantly able to reduce corrupt behavior. It happens because, although the procurement process is conducted electronically, both sides still have the possibility to meet for negotiation, which can lead to corruption. Therefore, the key to preventing corrupt practices in public procurement is to avoid the two players' meeting.

Transparency is one of the fundamental principles in public procurement. At the same time, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires all operators, whether public or private, to respect privacy and data protection. The study starts from the premise of avoiding sanctions and of complying with the obligations of the contracting authority by knowing the hierarchy of values protected by the regulations in force. An important role in ensuring compliance with the law is to correlate the activity of the data protection officer with the procurement department. The stages of the public procurement procedure will be analyzed in the most relevant aspects, from the publication in the Electronic Public Procurement System and the management of personal data submitted by bidders in the procurement procedures until the publication of the results. We will observe whether data protection can become an award criterion and the influence of bidding data breaches in procurement procedures. A sensitive issue is the protection of data transferred outside the European Union and, from the point of view of competition law, the consequences of the associations, and we will finally discuss some aspects regarding the corrective measures that the data protection authority may impose.

This paper descrives some of the insights that the economic theory of incentives can contribute to defense procurment policy analysis. It descrives the underlying incentive problems that shape the defense procurement problem, the nature of current institutions and how they affect actors' behavior, and possible directions for improving the procurement process suggested by viewing it as a solution to a complex set of incentive problems. Incentive problems between government and defense firms and incentive problems within government are both considered.

The article analyzes the legislative and organizational shortcomings of the public procurement system. Sustainability of modern states, societies and humanity in general is an urgent problem in the context of preserving humanity as a species. Because the complex economic, political and social problems need to be addressed are essentially challenges for modern civilization. Accordingly, an adequate response to the challenges is the key to harmony and peace on the planet. In this context, the problem of managing the public procurement process becomes relevant, as the social benefits of properly organized and conducted procurement often exceed even the economic benefits. The integrity of the procurement process management methodology provides, accordingly, a holistic vision of this process and allows to fully address the gaps in the system. At the same time, in the modern world, each system is a priori open and must respond flexibly to the needs of society. In the current system, too much attention is paid to compliance with established rules, rather than the introduction of tools aimed at improving efficiency and competitiveness. The Ministry of Finance can gradually change the direction of procurement in order to rationalize costs, for example, through the introduction of quality assessment criteria that allow to choose suppliers not only by price. As a follow-up to recent reforms, strategic management of the procurement cycle should be developed and more attention should be paid to the contract monitoring phase. The main components of the procurement cycle require improvements, in particular, planning, market research, development of technical specifications and access of foreign suppliers to the public procurement web portal. Working in these areas will help reduce the frequency of procurement and increase competition in certain categories of procurement.

PurposeWhile the need for strategic alignment in public management has been recognized, there is a lack of conceptual clarity to support its application in practice. Focusing on the specific field of public procurement, this paper clarifies and illustrates how the concept of strategic alignment can be applied when strategizing the public procurement process.Design/methodology/approachThe current literature on strategic alignment in public procurement is critically reviewed to identify ambiguities that hamper its application in practice. Based on this review, an analytical framework is developed that conceptualizes strategic alignment as that between the procurement instruments used in a sourcing project and the corresponding higher-level strategies. The framework is empirically illustrated by applying it in a case study that reconstructs the procurement strategy for an innovation projectFindingsStrategic alignment in the public procurement process can be demonstrated by identifying, explicating and logically linking reasoning and trade-off decisions on competing priorities across multiple levels and dimensions of strategyOriginality/valueAlthough creating alignment between policy and public procurement practice is generally held to be important in the public management literature, it is only discussed on high levels of abstraction. This paper provides clarity by investigating alignment in greater detail.
